I have been in the health, fitness, education, and nutrition industry for over 20 years, working with teams and clients in all walks of life! I have experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities, tailoring strength, fitness, and nutrition programs to meet specific needs.  I earned a PhD in Exercise Science and have three master’s degrees in nutrition, education, and administration.  I have multiple certifications and credentials within the exercise science and nutrition fields, and I am an author, educator, and presenter.  It is my joy to learn, educate, and lead others in health and fitness!

I have worked with professional, collegiate, and high school teams in both strength and conditioning and nutrition.  I also with the US Army in the development of competitive events within fitness and conditioning, and I have implemented falls-prevention exercise programs for older populations within senior centers, assisted living, and skilled nursing facilities. Additionally, I develop courses and programs that can prepare you for certifications, and specialty areas, and provide continuing education opportunities.  I can design a program that will help you progress toward your goals!

I consider each day a blessing and an opportunity to serve others who desire change.  I am devoted to the growth of all of those around me, and I recognize the importance of a balance between reflection, work, and rest. Most importantly, I cherish fun and friendship, and I believe life is an amazing opportunity!
